Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drought forecasting and early warning, and relates to a method for accurately identifying sudden droughts at the watershed scale. Background technique
[0002] Generally speaking, traditional drought events are a relatively slow-evolving hydroclimate phenomenon, because traditional droughts mainly depend on long-term (monthly or longer time-scale) changes in precipitation and evapotranspiration. However, abnormal atmospheric circulation (such as anomalous geopotential height field and water vapor flux field) on short time scales (weeks or pentads) can lead to rapid occurrence of drought events. More recently, the term "flash drought" has been used to describe these rapidly occurring drought events. For example, relatively serious outbreaks occurred in the south-central region of the United States during May-June 2012, in New Mexico in the middle and late March of 2017, in Virginia in the United States du...
